Now I
cruise Valley Metro, talk on a Trac-Phone and pay with
food-stamps
From elated
to deflated just
waitin’ to bounce back
For a
new New Deal
before I start
tearin’ down flags
Or am I
jumpin’ on the
excuse to throw
up my hands
That aren’t
really tied, and I just
wanna relax
Twenty-six isn’t
shit but I’m
wantin’ to retire
At least to a good
ole nine-to-fiver
Wanna be inspired,
not just fucking
tired
All just
to get laid
off, fucked off,
fired
Sick of
sweating and bleeding
and getting burned
Then burning
what I earned
and shelving what
I’ve learned
Me and my first
grader gotta survive this economy
Where’d the
time and money
go on my
odyssey
I never
rested but I
never invested
But there
is hope, did
you get the
text message
They’re handing
out plastic cards
again
So we can
dig
deeper while bargainin’
Sam’s Choice,
Made in China
so we can
Live Better
Pile our
debts in the
paper-shedder
Cut the
tape on the
Real Estate
Stand in
line with your
paper plate
Homes are vacant,
parks are full
Homeless hide in
the night, follow the rules
Call me
a Communist, but
don’t make it
sound so ominous
Mama said
share and share
alike, I say
promises, promises
